Mi Han

Outside Jixian County, Tianshui County, far away from Chencang, there is a group of teenagers riding steeds on the vast grassland.

Although in order to facilitate the control of the horses under the crotch, all the young men in this group are wearing military uniforms.

But the military uniforms on this group of teenagers are all very bright, which shows that the living conditions of this group of teenagers should be good.

After all, Tianshui County is located in northern Xinjiang, and it often suffers from the chaos of Qiang and Di, so its economy has always been underdeveloped.

As for the youths who can be unscrupulous in fresh clothes and angry horses in the barren Tianshui County, they may be the children of aristocratic families in Ji County.

It's just that no matter what the status of each young man is, they were young and vigorous, but now most of them honestly followed a young man on a galloping horse.

This is enough to prove that that young man has a status similar to that of a leader in their minds.

And this young man is none other than Jiang Wei and Jiang Boyue, who are known as "Young Lin" in Tianshui County.

Jiang Wei, who was galloping fast on a steed, felt the mountains and mountains he was facing, and the green plains thousands of miles away were changing rapidly in his sight.

Jiang Wei was intoxicated by this feeling that seemed to transcend everything.

Jiang Wei was born in a wealthy family in Ji County. Although he lost his father since childhood, due to his family background, his living conditions were not bad since he was a child.

One of Jiang Wei's uncles, Jiang Xu, was cousins ​​with Yang Fu, the governor of Liangzhou who was trusted by Cao Zhen today.

With this relationship, since Jiang Wei grew up, his reputation gradually spread in Tianshui County.

Even before he reached the crown, he was exceptionally called by Yang Fu, the governor of Liangzhou, to serve in the state.

Judging from Jiang Wei's life experience in the first 20 years, his starting point has already surpassed most of the children of aristocratic families in the world.

But Jiang Wei is not satisfied with the status quo. He has hidden ambitions in his heart since he was a child, thinking that one day he can truly show his prominence in the world without relying on the support of his family.

Because of his character, when Jiang Wei had no official position, although he himself loved Confucian classics very much, he didn't like the business of repairing common clothes.

His hobby is to donate wealth widely and support the dead.

Part of Jiang Wei's behavior is because he himself is a person who likes to make meritorious deeds, and he believes that the first step in making meritorious deeds is to establish his own small team.

In addition to this reason, it is also because his father died tragically under the rebellion when he was young.

In Tianshui County, where the situation is turbulent and wars are frequent, Jiang Wei feels that if he does not have an armed force directly under his command, it will be in danger after all.

And the group of teenagers who followed him behind him were just the tip of the iceberg of the dead soldiers he served.

Even Jiang Wei, who is proficient in riding and shooting, felt a little tired after running for a long time.

So after Jiang Wei drove his horse up a hill, he stopped the horse in time.

Seeing this, the group of teenagers following him also drove their horses and followed Jiang Wei up the hillside.

Then when their horseshoes were a few steps away from Jiang Wei, they immediately reined in the steed under their crotch as if their bodies were instinctive.

In addition to his love of studying classics and historical books, Jiang Wei also has a deep understanding of military books and war strategies.

After recruiting some dead soldiers, he learned fencing, riding and shooting by himself on the one hand, and on the other hand, he led his dead soldiers back and forth in the mountains outside Ji County to shoot and hunt, and taught martial arts.

Jiang Wei was training the dead soldiers he recruited completely in the way of training an army.

After the horse was stationed on the top of the mountain here, the endless plain outside Ji County fell into Jiang Wei's eyes.

In Jiang Wei's sight, when he looked far away, it seemed that the vast and boundless world had already been connected into a line.

But the dividing line formed by the sky and the earth trapped him firmly in the world of Ji County.

It's autumn, and some places in the Northland are already getting cold.

Wisps of cold wind blew over Jiang Wei, lifting his long hair from his temples, and at the same time, it also caused Jiang Wei to sigh involuntarily.

"The north wind is like a knife, and the years are like a knife. Do I have to stop outside Ji County for the rest of my life?"

For ordinary people, what Jiang Wei has obtained now is enough to make people enviable.

But for the ambitious Jiang Wei, his platform is not the small Ji County, let alone the barren Tianshui County.

His platform should be Liang Liang, which is gradually becoming the center of the world's attention!
And Jiang Wei also has great self-confidence in his heart. He firmly believes that he will be able to create his own brilliance in the world full of open guns and hidden arrows, and swords and swords.

Just when Jiang Wei felt emotional, a messenger riding under the hillside rushed towards Jiang Wei quickly.

This messenger rider was also one of the dead soldiers under Jiang Wei's care.

The condescending Jiang Wei noticed the arrival of this confidant.

Seeing his cronies who were left at home suddenly came to look for him, he thought at first that Ji County was being attacked by aliens again.

But after the messenger quickly came to the hillside, he reported the good news to Jiang Wei with a happy face.

This good news is about the fact that Cao Zhen bestowed an official on Jiang Wei.

It turned out that the envoy sent by Yang Fu arrived at Jiang Wei's home and found that Jiang Wei was not there, so he temporarily handed over the seal of the official document to Jiang's mother.

After the envoy left, Mother Jiang immediately sent someone to tell Jiang Wei the good news.

After hearing that Jiang Wei was given the official title of Zhonglang and joined the army in Tianshui County, all his cronies showed joy on their faces.

Because they are Jiang Wei's dead soldiers, as long as Jiang Wei's status climbs higher, the benefits they will get in the future will be greater.

But unlike his cronies, Jiang Wei clearly showed disappointment after hearing the news.

Joining the army in Tianshui County sounds like a lot of status, but Jiang Wei would rather be a small army Sima in Chencang City.

Disappointed, Jiang Wei didn't say anything, and then drove the horse under his crotch, rushed down the hillside at a very fast speed, and then headed towards Ji County.

He is going to do something that will have a great impact on his future.

Jiang Wei's dead soldiers on the hillside saw that their master seemed to be depressed, and they didn't know why.

It's just that after Jiang Wei's action, they, who had received Jiang Wei's military training since childhood, immediately drove their horses and followed their master towards Ji County.

On the vast plain, with the blessing of horses under his crotch, Jiang Wei's small team is very fast.

It's just that in Ji County in late autumn, the sky is always dark and fast.

When Jiang Wei and his party returned to Ji County, the guards of Ji County were closing the city gate.

But when the captain of the city gate saw that it was Jiang Wei and his party who had returned, he immediately asked his soldiers to suspend closing the city gate.

As Yang Fu became the governor of Liangzhou, the Tianshui Jiang family, who had been in touch with the Tianshui Yang family for many generations, continued to improve its status in Ji County.

Under the deliberate concession of the captain of the city gate, Jiang Wei drove his horse into the city gate without hesitation.

The dozens of men behind him also followed suit one by one, completely ignoring the city gate and soldiers in front of them.

They have done this many times under Jiang Wei's leadership.

After Jiang Wei drove his horse into the city gate, he immediately headed towards his mansion.

Soon after, Jiang Wei returned to his mansion.

After returning to the mansion, Jiang Wei didn't care about washing up and eating, so he went straight all the way to a door.

When standing outside the door, Jiang Wei, who has always been bold, rarely showed hesitation on his face.

Because inside this door lived his old mother.

But after hesitating for a while, Jiang Wei's eyes became more determined.

Jiang Wei stretched out his hand and slowly pushed open the door.

Although the Jiang family in Tianshui is a wealthy family, the house of the Jiang family as the mistress is not luxurious and spacious.

So when Jiang Wei opened the door, he saw his mother Jiang Shi at a glance.

When Jiang saw Jiang Wei's return, she who was embroidering immediately put down the needle and thread in her hand, and then looked at Jiang Wei with a loving face.

Jiang Wei is her only son, since Jiang Wei's father died in battle, she has only relied on him in this world.

Mother Jiang smiled and beckoned Jiang Wei to come forward. When Jiang Wei came up, Mother Jiang wanted to ask him if he had eaten.

It's just that Jiang's mother didn't expect that before Jiang Wei came to her, before she could speak, Jiang Wei knelt down in front of her.

Jiang Wei's move, while surprising Jiang's mother, also made her feel a little bit worried.

Knowing the child is better than the mother, and Jiang's mother knows that Jiang Wei will suddenly behave like this, so she must be asking him for something.

And according to common sense, she would not agree to this matter, otherwise Jiang Wei would not need to do this.

Sure enough, after Jiang Wei knelt down, he bowed deeply to Mother Jiang and said:
"Mother, my son wants to go to Chencang."

Jiang Wei's voice was not loud, but his request fell into Jiang's mother's ears, but it exploded in her ears like a bolt from the blue.

Mother Jiang subconsciously blurted out and said, "It's absolutely impossible."

Jiang's mother expected that Jiang Wei might make some requests that she could not accept, but she did not expect this.

In the Han Dynasty, it was normal for children of aristocratic families to travel far away, and it was also regarded as a means of increasing knowledge and experience, but why did Jiang's mother resist Jiang Wei's going to Chencang so much.

It's because Jiang's mother knows the danger of Chencang.

After Jiang Wei's father died in battle, Jiang Wei was still young at that time, so Jiang's family business in Tianshui was managed by Jiang's mother.

Judging from the point that Jiang Weineng has enough money to support the dead, there is no doubt that in the past ten years, Jiang's mother has managed the Jiang family business very well.

This is enough to show that Mother Jiang is not an ordinary woman.

Before she got married, she was originally the daughter of the Yang family in Tianshui, so Yang Fu was her elder brother.

Because of her good personal ability and her close relationship with Yang Fu, Mother Jiang knew that Chen Cang was now being used by General Cao Zhen as the first line of defense against Mi Yang.

Mi Yang's prestige, even Jiang's mother, who lives in Ji County as a widow, has heard of it.

However, based on rumors, Mi Yang was basically equated with the devil in the hearts of Cao Wei people.

Jiang's mother knew that Chen Cang would become Mi Yang's main attack direction in the future, so how could he let Jiang Wei take the risk?
If something goes wrong with Jiang Wei, who should she rely on in the future?
Jiang Wei knew that Jiang's mother would strongly oppose this matter, and he also knew why Jiang's mother opposed him.

It's just that Jiang Wei, who has great ambitions, can't keep himself in Ji County.

The main reason why Jiang Wei in history would honestly join the army in Tianshui County was that Ji Han was weak at that time in history.

Not to mention Jiang Wei, even in the entire Wei Dynasty, few people would have expected that Zhuge Liang would take the initiative to make the Northern Expedition.

In that case, although Liangzhou was located on the border, it was considered safer by the Wei people than the Central Plains, so Jiang Wei could only temporarily stay in Tianshui County and wait for an opportunity.

After all, his contacts are all in Liangzhou, and it is impossible to go to Yangzhou to make contributions.

But the current situation is very different from the history.

Everyone in the world knows that within a few years, Liu Jun will definitely make a large-scale northern expedition. With this judgment, how can Jiang Wei, who is good at making achievements, restrain the restlessness in his heart?
As for other people who will be afraid of Mi Yang, Jiang Wei, who is as bold as a dog, will never have it.

Because he wanted to make contributions in his heart, Jiang Wei already had tears in his eyes, and he said sincerely to Mother Jiang:
"My son knows that my mother begged Yang Gong to let her join the army as Tianshui, and she was protecting her.

However, if a man is born in this world, how can he do nothing?
Moreover, although Tianshui is in a corner of peace, it cannot be safe for a long time.Not to mention the foreign races who often make trouble, but if Mi Yang sweeps Liangzhou, how can Tianshui be spared from military disasters?
For the sake of the hometown, but also for their own sake, the children must go to Chencang to do their part for the country. "

Jiang Wei's reasons were detailed, but Jiang's mother just shook her head in tears and refused.

Seeing Jiang's mother behave like this, Jiang Wei had no choice but to say another deep reason why he was eager to make contributions.

"At that time, my father was not in the army to protect the county guard, and the child often thought about it later, could it be that the father was not good at the beginning?

After thinking about it in every possible way, Hai'er thinks that this is not the reason.It was because my father was only a meritorious service at that time, and he had no military power in his hands, so he had this calamity with few enemies.

Today, when there are strong enemies outside the water and Qiang chaos inside, it is far from the time for children to seek safety.

Otherwise, if the Qiang people come again in the future, even if the child has a strategy to defeat the enemy, if he has no military power in his hands, wouldn't the catastrophe of his father happen to the child?

In troubled times, military power is the most important thing, and children go to Chencang not only for fighting, but also for self-protection. "

After Jiang Wei finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily to Mother Jiang a few times, hoping that Mother Jiang would agree to his request.

Mother Jiang is not an unreasonable person, she knows that everything Jiang Wei says makes sense.

If the first reason Jiang Wei said was not enough to impress Mother Jiang, then the second reason Jiang Wei said was enough to shake Mother Jiang.

She didn't want Jiang Wei to follow the same path as his father.

At this time, Jiang's mother thought that although Chen Cang was the front line, as long as Jiang Wei could stay by Yang Fu's side, his safety would be guaranteed.

Thinking of this, Mother Jiang could only helplessly close her tear-filled eyes.

"I will write a letter to Yang Gong, asking him to find a job for you in the army."

"It's just that you have to promise me that you must follow Yang Gong's instructions in everything after you arrive at Chen Cang, and you must not be willful in the slightest."

As long as Mother Jiang is willing to allow him to go to Chencang, there is nothing Jiang Wei can't agree to Mother Jiang.

Jiang Wei hastily agreed to Mother Jiang's instructions, and then prepared to leave the room.

But at the moment when Jiang Wei was about to step out, Mother Jiang's last warning came:
"Boyo, if there is any disharmony, let it go!".
Facing Mother Jiang's warning, Jiang Wei just agreed and left the room.

After coming outside the room, the sky was completely dark at this time, but looking at the moonless sky, Jiang Wei's mood was not as usual.

He didn't directly answer Mother Jiang's warning just now, just because the answer in his heart was:

"Hundred hectares of fertile land are not in one mu, but lofty aspirations are not in angelica!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Wei strode out of Mother Jiang's courtyard.

Chen Cang, my Tianshui Jiang Boyue is here!
